When you see the Southern Cross for the first time / You understand now why you came this way

A little hard to see in this picture, but here indeed is the Southern Cross. When I was in Australia, I didn't get a chance to look up on a clear night, so I'll consider this my first viewing of the constellation.

When you see the Southern Cross for the first timeYou understand now why you came this way'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so smallBut it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' daySo I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a dyin'And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chainI have my ship, and all her flags are a flyin'She is all that I have left, and music is her nameAnd you know it willSo we cheated and we lied and we testedAnd we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to doYou will survive being bestedSomebody fine will come alongMake me forget about loving youAnd the Southern Cross
